The Sales team is small but mighty. Managing multiple programs spanning several brands,
verticals and markets - the team is expected to roll up their sleeves and chip in where necessary to ensure the best possible outcome for VICE Media and our clients - alongside a variety of other interesting things that will come your way.

You will be:

But after 6 months in this role you'll start to focus on preparing and running all program kick off, both internal and external; and wash up meetings alongside the internal fixed point feedback loops, pulling together the closure documents and communicating all client feedback.
And after a year we see you assisting the Account Directors on advising on repeat client creative concepts, offering strategic and knowledgeable insights, whilst guiding the client through the creative production process to delivery and implementation.
